FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a multi-compartmental sports equipment backpack for storing and carrying sport related equipment, and more particularly relates to a multi-compartmental sports equipment backpack having a plurality of compartments, sleeves, and hard cases that enable individual storage, back mounting, impact protection, and efficient access to eclectic types of sports equipment, and specifically baseball related sports equipment.

BACKGROUND Description of the Related Art

It is known that sport equipment bags are used for carrying, various bags for baseball, soft baseball or lacrosse bag generally available in the market. Some bags are dedicated to pack up bat, ball, gloves, and others for hat, shoes, uniforms, glasses and other personal protection gears.

Often, baseball players view one of the most unpleasant tasks associated with playing baseball or softball is transporting all necessary equipment to and from the ball field. The baseball related equipment required for playing baseball or softball includes a baseball glove, a batting glove, baseballs, athletic shoes, a water bottle, a score book, and a helmet.

Typically, a baseball or softball team will generally carry gloves and baseballs to games. A plurality of bats, gloves, balls, and garments are needed for warm-up purposes and for encountering the different stratagems during the game.

In many instances, the baseball glove and baseball is loosely carried and stored in one or more duffle bags having a single compartment which allows the baseball equipment to be commingled, become disorganized, and difficult to readily locate. During the game, the baseball glove, ball, sun visors, or cleats may be needed quickly. However, this sports equipment is often difficult to locate and sometimes misplaced.

Baseball equipment bags have become more sophisticated with time. Some bags are an elongated duffel or roll-type bag having a zippered opening and an elongated storage compartment for storing the player's equipment. This type of bag is popular because of its soft-sided feature which makes it easy to store and transport. However, the plain elongated duffel or roll-type bag with one elongated compartment fails to keep the baseball related sports equipment in any semblance of organization in the equipment bag making it difficult for the player to keep items segregated and inconvenient for the player to find things within the bag.

Other proposals have involved sports equipment storage bags. The problem with these bags is that they do not provide organized, quick access to the plurality of bats, gloves, balls, and garments are needed, and they are not able to be carried easily on the back for hands free traveling. Even though the above cited baseball equipment storage bags meet some of the needs of the market, a multi-compartmental sports equipment backpack that utilizes a variety of specifically shaped compartments, sleeves, and hard cases for storing and enabling easy access to a sport glove, a sport stick, a pair of glasses, sport garments, head protection equipment, and other baseball related equipment, while also providing adaptation of the backpack to be mounted on the back for facilitated mobility, is still desired.

SUMMARY

From the foregoing discussion, it should be apparent that a need exists for a multi-compartmental sports equipment backpack that utilizes a variety of specifically shaped compartments, sleeves, and hard cases that are shaped for particular pieces of sports equipment, and whereby the backpack is adaptable to be mounted on the back for facilitated mobility. Beneficially, such a multi-compartmental sports equipment backpack would provide segregated and secure storage and portability of baseball related equipment, such as a sport glove, a sport stick, a pair of glasses, sport garments, head protection equipment, and other baseball related equipment.
